Econ Calendar

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Monday’s pre-open item isn’t high-profile, but Monday pre-open items can be disruptive anyway. A post-open item on Monday isn’t usual, either, but this one doesn’t usually impact price action. So, Monday’s calendar should not have much impact on price action.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Friday’s pre-open GDP is interesting, but has a poor track record of actually influencing price action. Meanwhile, the post-open Consumer Sentiment can inhibit trending before it, and often triggers a reaction to it.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Navigating two high-profile econ reports before the open may be Thursday’s least challenging moment. Two high-profile post-open reports come simultaneously at 10:00, and the 7-year note auction is getting pretty far out on the yield curve to be assured of a smooth placement.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Quite a day ahead, and it begins tonight with the State of the Union address. Two higher profile post-open items come simultaneously at 10:00. The 5-year note auction starts getting far enough out the yield curve to be dangerous. And the FOMC announcement’s unusual noon hour timing is followed by Bernanke’s equally unusual quarterly press conference.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Tuesday’s calendar looks busy, but its content is almost benign. Get past the pre-open retail data and only the Richmond Fed data remains. The evening’s State of the Union address and Romney’s tax returns will probably be more interesting.
